Текст песни IAMX — Oh Beautiful Town + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
VERSE 1
G
I grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe
BRIDGE:
Em
They chewed me up
D9
they spat me out
G
of their system and onto their street
G F
and the rest of my life was spent to forget
D9 C G
all the greatness that could never be
CHORUS:
Em
Oh beautiful town
C G
I remember you blacker than the night
Em
the whores and the sick mouths
C G
the bad taste and the neon lights
Em
Oh beautiful town,
C G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?
Em C
I shot you down beautiful town
F
because you tear your children
G
into pieces
VERSE 2
G
Absence twisted with fondness
is the horror I couldn't forget
programmed into great art
of family, lies and debts
BRIDGE 2:
Em D9
too much expectation
G
followed by hope and then hate in the mess
G F
and the rest of my life was a glorious test
D9 C G
of my will and my selfish neglect
CHORUS:
Em
Oh beautiful town
C G
I remember you blacker than the night
Em
the whores and the sick mouths
C G
the bad taste and the neon lights
Em
Oh beautiful town,
C G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?
Em C
I shot you down beautiful town
F
because you tear your children
G
into pieces
VERSE 3:
G
On the floor boards under insolent feet
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents retreat
with a lavender bag in my hand
and words of desperation on my tongue
BRIDGE 3:
Em D9 G
goodnight father, goodnight mother
F D9 C G
Are you still awake?
